"No way, I can't believe it."
"We actually made it out like that."
"They really didn't do anything to you."
"Brother Chu Feng, how did you know they wouldn't give you trouble?"
Once they realized that they had truly walked out of the Tantai Heavenly Clan's territory unharmed, Kong Tianhui could no longer contain himself.
Although they were still on the ground of the Nine Dragons Upper Realm, Kong Tianhui was already certain that they were truly safe.
As for his question, Chu Feng simply smiled. "It's simple — just one sentence: they were in the wrong."
"What? Just because of that?" Kong Tianhui asked.
"Just because of that," Chu Feng confirmed.
"But aren't families like that always running roughshod over everyone?"
"How could they possibly let you go just because they were in the wrong?"
"That's not their style at all, is it?"
"Brother Chu Feng, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering me?"
Kong Tianhui had been talking up a storm, but then he suddenly noticed that Chu Feng wasn't just ignoring him — Chu Feng's gaze was fixed elsewhere and slowly shifting, as if he had spotted something. Kong Tianhui followed Chu Feng's line of sight, but he clearly couldn't see anything.
"Brother Chu Feng, what are you looking at?" Kong Tianhui asked.
"Shh, don't talk."
By the time Chu Feng said that, his gaze had already shifted. He had activated his Heavenly Eye.
Previously, Chu Feng couldn't be certain, but once the Heavenly Eye was activated, he could clearly see a current of energy flowing off into the distance.
It wasn't some kind of living creature — it was more like a strange phenomenon, a phenomenon caused by something special hidden within a particular entity…
"I never expected that right outside the Tantai Heavenly Clan's territory, something this good would be lurking around."
Joy flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. Then he turned to Kong Tianhui. "Follow me."
With that, Chu Feng set off in pursuit of the hidden phenomenon.
Though confused, Kong Tianhui could see how serious Chu Feng was and didn't dare slack off. He hurried to keep up.
"Miss Yusha, your luck has come."
At the same time, Chu Feng spoke to Yusha inside the world spirit space.
Yusha — the woman who had become Chu Feng's world spirit because of Xueji — was a quiet, reserved girl. During this time, everything Chu Feng had been through, she had witnessed every moment of it. In a sense, she had shared in his hardships in her own way. Yet even when faced with death, she hadn't uttered a single word.
If Chu Feng didn't initiate conversation, she wouldn't initiate conversation either.
"What is it?" Yusha's voice rang out — beautiful, but cold.
"I've spotted a strange phenomenon. Following it should lead us to a good find."
"If my judgment is correct, it should be a rare celestial treasure — a true cultivation artifact."
"But this cultivation artifact is useless to me. It's useful to you, though," Chu Feng said.
"A celestial treasure that only world spirits can cultivate with?"
"So things like that actually exist in your world?"
Hearing that this was something she herself could use for cultivation, Yusha finally showed a trace of interest.
"Celestial treasures like this are extremely rare. I wasn't completely sure before, but the closer I get, the more confident I become — this really should be a celestial treasure that benefits world spirits."
"My Heavenly Eye won't deceive me."
"Before, with Linghu Hongfei — if not for you, I wouldn't have fought him to a draw. You truly helped me enormously, and I owe you a debt of gratitude."
"So today, I'm going to repay it," Chu Feng said.
"I already told you — we help each other. There's no need to talk about debts of gratitude," Yusha replied.
